Comment | I mean, yeah Govanhill has some problems but it really isn't that bad. I lived in a great flat there and ever once saw a rat or a cockroach there or anything. Sure there is overcrowding and a lot of rubbish about but there is a lot of that in places like Bridgeton and Merryhill too and it doesn't seem to whip people into a frenzy in quite the same way. Govanhill is a transitional, gentrifying area with some persistant problems but the way people talk about you would think it was Fallujah circa 2005 or something. Some parts are really pretty nice even. |
